Wardrobe guide

Fitting & Care

Take your measurements over the clothes you expect to wear under the costume. Use a soft tape and leave it resting against the body without pulling it tight. Include the unit you used when you send the figures.

Measurements to send

Measure the chest and hips at their fullest point. Measure the waist where the costume will sit.
Measure across the back from shoulder point to shoulder point. Take sleeve length from the shoulder to the wrist with the elbow slightly bent.
For trousers, measure the inside leg from crotch to ankle. For a coat, measure down the center back from the base of the neck.

Mention movement that affects fit, such as tumbling, reaching overhead or wearing a microphone pack. Ask for the actual garment measurements to compare.

Pieces and cleaning

Check whether collars, cuffs, hats or trousers are included. Ask if any trim or accessories detach before you pack the costume. Hang structured jackets on broad hangers, keep loose trims flat and confirm garment-specific cleaning instructions before using water, heat or solvents.

Purchase and rental terms

Include your first fitting and final performance dates when you ask. Confirm the price, what is included and the arrangements below before committing.
